All TMF newsletters are not created equal ( differing objectives/strategies ), nor are their results the same.

TMF Income Investor has delivered a 27.8% increase since it's August, 2003 debut. During the same time period, the S&P 500 has delivered a 14.7% increase*

* "Total average returns are the average of all individual stock recommendations (active and sold) and the average of the S&P 500 Total Return Index, starting from the end of the day we make each recommendation. Both the stock and benchmark returns include reinvested dividends, splits, and adjustments for other corporate actions such as spinoffs and acquisitions, if applicable."

Avoiding generalizations is a key in almost everything. ;-)
